Internet Passes Radio for Political News

Where did people turn to last year for political news? An increasing number say they got most of their political news from the internet -- 18 percent, compared with 17 percent who said they got most of their political news from radio.

The numbers come from a Reuters article on a study by the Pel Internet and American Life Project. The study found that 29 percent of U.S. adults got at least some of their political news from the internet, compared with 18 percent in 2000 and 4 percent in 1996.
